FOT-Net Final Event Myriam Coulon-Cantuer European Commission DG CONNECT Smart Cities and Sustainability Amsterdam 18 March 2014
FOT: the missing ring in the R&D chain FOT Why? FOTs are an excellent way of: collecting real data making a comprehensive assessment evaluating the impact analysing driver behaviour evaluating user acceptability providing cost/benefit assessments creating awareness improving socio economic acceptance enhancing the take-up of solutions

FOTs in H2020 Types of Actions Research/Innovation Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) 100% funding rate The core activity should be Research and development may include testing and validation on a small/medium/large-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment may contain limited demonstration or pilot activities Innovation Actions (IA) 70% funding rate (100% for non-profit legal entities) The core activity could be prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication may include limited research and development activities. 10
From FOT-Net to FOT-Net Data Building on the good work performed by FOT-Net Challenges ahead: Keep the momentum of the FOT network Promote the FESTA methodology (also for data sharing) Develop a data sharing framework Collect and provide information on available FOT data and tools Provide knowledge on data sharing Maintain the FOT wiki catalogue Disseminate the current FOT activities FOT-Net FOT-Net Data Congratulations! All the best! 11
